Growing up in a home where there is addiction or relationship trauma
puts a child at great risk for long-term, post-traumatic stress effects
that adversely compromise adult relationships. bestselling author,
psychologist, and psychodramatist Tian Dayton examines this trauma
through an exploration of the way the brain and body process frightening
or painful emotions and experiences in childhood. She shows how these
traumas can become catalysts for unhealthy, self-medicating behaviors
including drug and alcohol abuse, food issues, and sex, gambling, and
shopping addictions.
